Hi Rebecca,

I got an email from someone looking for MFL. I gave them your email addy. Hope that is okay.

Yes it is. Still have a few left.

Thanks to Raven1 I finally might have a good start on the MFL. This is not all of them. There are 29 total hatched and one died overnight in the brooder. 2 are learning to walk. I am going to brood these with the silkies. Maybe they will fare better with fewer chicks to compete with.

I can't believe so many of them hatched! That is so cool! They look good and healthy. Congrats

I hatched 5 and they're already getting their feathers, much faster than my other little chicks from different breeds. If the tail feather sexing is true I think i have 5 girls

I posted this in the breed/gender thread, but I thought you guys might have a better/faster answer. Is this a MFL? And do you think it's a pullet or a cockerel? (4 weeks old...I've been going under the assumption that it's a pullet)

That would be great! You will start to see combs soon if you have any boys.

Quote: I have not seen a difference in the feathering on the MFL. I can't sex them as easy as some other Leghorns. Combs are the key though. There might be some difference in the color on the feathers but I think the comb shows before that.
